Coinfection rates of avian blood parasites increase with latitude in parapatric host species
Parasitology, 2023 Animals are frequently coinfected with multiple parasites concurrently, and advances in our sampling of these complex intra-host parasite communities have revealed important ecological impacts on their hosts.

A non-invasive feather-based methodology for the detection of blood parasites (Haemosporida)
Scientific Reports, 2023 Blood parasite (haemosporidian) infections are conventionally detected using blood samples; this implies capturing and handling birds to obtain them, which induces stress and causes pain.

Elucidating the Factors that Modulate the Distribution of Avian Haemosporida Parasites across a Community of Hosts [PDF]
, 2013 Parasites are heterogeneously distributed across host species, host populations, and host individuals within populations. A primary aim of infectious disease ecology seeks to uncover the factors that drive this heterogeneity. At a fundamental level, host

Phylogeny of Hepatocystis parasites of Australian flying foxes reveals distinct parasite clade
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2018 Hepatocystis parasites are close relatives of mammalian Plasmodium species and infect a range of primates and bats. Here, we present the phylogenetic relationships of Hepatocystis parasites of three Australian flying fox species.

Novel RNA viruses associated with avian haemosporidian parasites.
PLoS ONE, 2022 Avian haemosporidian parasites can cause malaria-like symptoms in their hosts and have been implicated in the demise of some bird species. The newly described Matryoshka RNA viruses (MaRNAV1 and MaRNAV2) infect haemosporidian parasites that in turn ...

Combining morphological and molecular data to reconstruct the phylogeny of avian Haemosporida
, 2019 The traditional classification of avian Haemosporida is based mainly on morphology and life history traits. Recently, molecular hypotheses have challenged the traditional classification, leading to contradictory opinions on whether morphology is ...
